Analyzing the link between anxiety and eating behavior as a potential pathway to eating-related health outcomes

Abstract Anxiety is a widespread phenomenon that affects various behaviors. We want to analyze in how far anxiety is connected to eating behaviors since this is one potential pathway to understanding eating-related health outcomes like obesity or eating disorders. We used data from the population-ba...
